Kevin Winter/Getty Images Comedian Drew Carey has taken to the Internet to deny reports he’s been diagnosed with cancer, insisting the story is completely “false.” Fears for the funnyman’s health were …

Funnyman and game show king Drew Carey is living life to the fullest after losing more than 70 pounds – because now he’s convinced he’s going to live past 60.

The “The Price is Right” host, 52, admits he always felt sure he’d die before his 60th – and now he can’t believe how good life is.

He tells the upcoming issue of Parade magazine, “The hardest diet I was ever on was the one when I was fat. You can only wear fat clothes, you don’t feel good, your sex life gets damaged, you don’t have energy for anything. It’s horrible.

“I always thought I was going to die before I was 60. My father died of a heart attack in his 40s. I’m not an idiot. The writing was on the wall… I look in the mirror and I feel like I’m in my 20s again. I feel like I have my whole life back. I could live to be 100 now.”

Now weighing in at 185 pounds, Carey has set himself the goal of losing another 15 pounds by Halloween.

And he tells Parade his drastic weight loss was sparked by the onset of diabetes and the fact he couldn’t keep up with fiancee Nicole Jaracz’s five-year-old son Connor.

Carey explains, “I’d be like, ‘Connor, I can’t,’ and he’d say, ‘C’mon dad!’ That was a terrible feeling. I thought, ‘I’m never going to see him graduate high school.'”

And he has promised himself and brother Roger that he won’t pile the pounds back on – after they attended the funeral of their sibling Neal, who suffered a heart attack earlier this summer, aged 64.

He reveals, “I felt like I could have been attending my own funeral.”

In August, the comedian completed a 10K charity run and now he has his sights set on a marathon.
